David Haye, who declared a PR war on the Klitschko family, was to face Wladimir Klitschko, on June 20. But the much anticipated fight didn’t take place due to the British boxer’s injury.

Recently, a court decision has freed Vitaly Klitschko from his obligation to defend his WBC title against Russian Oleg Maskaev, which means he has the full right to choose his next opponent.

Earlier, Vitaly said he’s interested in a fight with ‘Russian Giant’ Nikolay Valuev, who holds the WBA belt.
